The final work of legendary director Stanley Kubrick, who died within a week of completing the edit, stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, at the time Hollywood’s most bankable celebrity couple, and was shot on a open-ended schedule (finally totaling over 400 days), with closed sets in London standing in for New York City. Cruise and Kidman play William and Alice Harford, a physician and a gallery manager who are wealthy, successful, and travel in a sophisticated social circle; however, a certain amount of decadence crosses their paths on occasion, and a visit to a formal-dress party leads them into sexual temptation when William is drafted into helping a beautiful girl who has overdosed on drugs while Alice is charmed by a man bent on seduction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgVo96JaqeM O Cinema Miami Beach 500 71st St Miami Beach, FL 33141 786.207.1919...

Manchester by the Sea is Kenneth Lonergan’s masterpiece about a New England handyman (Casey Affleck) dealing with the death of his brother, the unexpected guardianship of his nephew and a guilt-ridden past that won’t let him go. With Manchester, selected by the National Board of Review as Best Film of the Year, Lonergan leaves the rank of gifted-playwright-turned-indie filmmaker to become a major American director. Lonergan achieves an atmosphere of dispassionate calm dosed with bursts of sardonic humor, creating a world where everybody – in the spirit of Jean Renoir – has their reasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsVoD0pTge0 Coral Gables Cinema 260 Aragon Avenue Coral Gables, FL 33134 786.385.9689...

Jazz South Florida celebrates 25 years of jazz with The New York Standards Quartet (NYSQ), formed in 2006 by four master musicians. Four recorded and busy musicians with their own bands, educators at the collegiate level in the New York area decided to get together. Tim Armacost in tenor and soprano saxes; flute; David Berkman in piano; Ugonna Okegwo in acoustic bass and Gene Jackson in drums. By playing jazz standards like “All the Things You Are,” they put the focus on the playing of the tune, not so much the melody itself. NYSQ expanded the approach to include interesting arrangements of these tunes, as well as some original compositions derived from more traditional standards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR_g4hSFVEQ Venue Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center 3100 Ray Ferrero Jr. Blvd. Davie, FL 33314. 954.462.0222...

Invisibles Palpables by artist Luis González Palma questions the idea of emptiness and time in a metaphysical sense. The production aims to express nothingness, as a spiritual search that resembles a portrayal of beauty more in tune with oriental preconceptions. In Invisibles. . . the artist is strongly determined by the necessity to materialize sensitivity and emotion; to conceptualize the utopic space of that which is not representable. In this sense, the most significant accomplishment of González Palma’s new work resides in radicalizing his visual concept, subjecting photographic images to a purging process that restores them to their maximum essence: abstraction.

Naama Tsabar (b. Israel) creates installations, performances, and sculptures that examine the charged spaces and multi sensory zones of nightlife and their associations with notions such as freedom, excess, and escape. Her work treats the venues themselves as structures of power, enabling a display of fantasy, sexuality, and bravado, as well as providing a shelter from the realities of the outside world. Transitions is comprised of three bodies of work coming together to form a reactive installation evoking questions of power found in musical and social environments. The works investigate the underlying themes of intimacy, performativity, sexuality and excess. Spinello Projects 2930 NW 7th Ave Miami, FL 33127...

The Show takes place November 18-20, 2016 at the Broward County Convention Center. Through a submission process, applicants must present samples of their work, a biography and artist statement, as well as provide a paragraph stating why he/she is an “ambassador” for the local artist community. “I believe I am a strong candidate for the At Home with Art showcase not only because my art emphasizes themes relating to South Florida culture, but also years working in public art studios has groomed me to interface well with the public,” states Carmen Smith a Hollywood based artist in her submission document. “I am very approachable, friendly, professional, resourceful and knowledgeable – but most of all, people feel comfortable asking me questions about art. Visitors often remark they have attended art events, shows, and studios, but rarely leave with as deep a connection to the artist and the artist’s ideas.” Carmen Smith exhibits a sample of her work along with 15 other artists.

Enrique’s work blurs the distinction between image and object, and between painting and sculpture. The polished complexity of Enrique’s paintings and the linear, snaking nature of his sculptures set up a tension between object and void. Their repetition when installed in groups owes much to the influence of minimalist work from a half century ago. Jorge Enrique (Havana,Cuba. 1960) He began his academic studies in Studio Art at the Alfred C. Glassell Jr. School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in, Houston. Enrique’s work has been exhibited in Europe and the United States and is included in important permanent collections such as La Fondation Villa Datris Museum in Paris and L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (France) and the Bernard Magrez Cultural Institute in Bordeaux, and others.
